I was having a read through all the info before getting started. I was really in shock when I came across this sadness and loss and to a young man with so much ahead of him.
I too lost my daughter to the very same out come she was 28yrs old, that was almost 11 years ago.

It is very hard to over come a loss of your child and suicide is such a hideous outcome of any life.

Aaron wore a t-shirt and was somewhat disheveled, as if he had just gotten out of bed, and his genius was immediately apparent, as soon as he spoke.

Now I think of him as a mystic also, someone closer to dreamtime than most of us are, most of the time. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to hear his talk and think that the Open Library may be the living monument to his spirit.

I was not aware of Aaron’s efforts and what he made possible in so many fields before now .. and so, give thanks for his ability to live on in what he has created.

The psychological insanity that is used to drive a nurse and now this
loving Soul to suicide is an earmark of the immediate need of increased
spiritual evolution of our human population.

Cherished loved ones need protection to stay and be and not to go and die.
Open your heart today to embrace someone you love and needs protection.
Shield them from harm and confusion.

This young man cannot be replaced…none of us can. We,as he are powerful spiritual beings.
In all realities,bless us all.

Be sure you gave us the seeds of a new generation inspired in your mind and heart
for building the world you dreamed.- God will take care of your parents.-
